Abstract: The invention generally relates to sending data (e.g. print data or a document), in a network environment, to a port monitor, and to upload the data to an upload manager for storing in a database. Relevant data may be sent from a print spooler to the port monitor invoking an upload manger to convey (e.g. securely or non-securely) print data to a web server. A version manager determines whether the print driver being used to print data is authentic, and data are written to a web server as packets of information and sent to a database for storage. Additionally, a system, method and recordable medium are recognized whereby a pass through (e.g. a port monitor filter) is inserted between a print spooler and a port monitor in order to detach the port monitor from the print spooler such that object code can be upgraded for future versions of software.

Abstract: This invention relates to a system and method to configure, view, and order a document online. The document is uploaded from a client and transferred over a network to a server. The server includes software that allows a user to configure and preview the document online. The user may change configuration parameters as desired. Once the configuration process is complete, the user may order the document, specifying multiple recipients as desired. The user is then billed for the order and the document is delivered to the indicated recipient(s).

Abstract: This invention relates to a system and method to upload and recover print jobs over a network. A client sends to a server a request for a specific document to be uploaded for transfer across a network. The sever creates an object to identify and process the request. The server sends a response to the client indicating that the request has been received and an associated object has been created. The server stores packets of the data document as they are uploaded and transmitted. Once the complete document has been uploaded and transferred to the server, it is stored in a network accessible data store.
